Follow The Directions

01

Step

Submerge the cedar plank in water for a minimum of 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure it doesn't burn on the grill. (2+ hours)

02

Step

Gently place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and lavishly coat with teriyaki sauce. Cover the dish and allow the fillets to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld deeply. (1 hour)

03

Step

In a separate medium bowl, artfully combine the diced mangos, bell pepper, green onion, jalapeño pepper, and fresh cilantro. Season the mixture with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring until the ingredients are harmoniously combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to marry and intensify. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Prepare your outdoor grill for indirect heat. If utilizing charcoal, strategically arrange and ignite the coals under one half of the grill, creating a zone of direct heat and a zone of indirect heat. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Delicately drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the fish fillets, then generously season with chipotle seasoning, red pepper flakes, and hot pepper sauce, building layers of flavor. Remove the soaked plank from the water and carefully arrange the seasoned fillets on the plank. (5 minutes)

06

Step

With precision, place the plank laden with fish onto the preheated grill, positioning it over direct heat to initiate the cooking process. Cover the grill and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the plank to impart its smoky essence. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Skillfully move the plank with fish to the indirect heat zone (the cooler part of the grill); cover and continue cooking until the fish is easily flaked with a fork, approximately 10 more minutes, ensuring a moist and tender result. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Serve the fish hot, crowned with the vibrant mango salsa, a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that will tantalize the palate.

For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using a fruitwood plank such as apple or cherry.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño and hot pepper sauce in the salsa to your desired level of spiciness.
If you don't have access to a grill, this dish can also be prepared in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the planked fish for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

    Soaking the plank overnight is essential! I tried to cut it short and almost set my grill on fire.
